These stories have a common thread, the idea that toxins are affecting your brain. I wouldn't consider this health advocacy.

Sandy Hook conspiracies and fringe ideas were running rampant on the internet this week. There is a movement of Sandy Hook "truthers" (a poorly descriptive work) who are convinced something nefarious is going on.

And, the media and marketing companies LOVE the word "antioxidant" and consider it synonymous with "healthy". That's not accurate.

Media outlets went wild with speculation about these curious structures that appeared suddenly in the Gobi desert in China. They really weren't that interesting but add the word "mystery" to the story and suddenly it's newsworthy.

In other media news, the fall of the house of the Australian Vaccination Network continues as they cease publishing their magazine and president Meryl Dorey leaves. I suspect that's not the last we shall see of her though as we might expect such an ideological base to regroup.

In another facepalm moment, a man is arrested, accused of attempted harm to his friend, when he gives her an alternative treatment that is marketed as a MIRACLE but is really industrial bleach. Yep, you read me correctly there too.
